Right? I also wanted slightly longer 2m cables, but thats secondary.
A 2 metre 5e cable will be a hell of a lot cheaper than a 2m CAT8 cable, and unless your internal network is faster than a gigabit or two there's really no point in using anything more expensivethatn 5e or maybe 6.
Cat 5e supports 5 and 10GbE at least for 10 meters. I wouldn't bet on it considering the price of Cat 6a but 2 meters is really short.
